Minister's desk in rosewood by Claude Gaillard and Henri Lesetre for Ligne Roset, 1970s. France. Large "minister" desk in rosewood (veneer with very pronounced grain), typical of French design from the 1970s. Generous top with a glossy finish, resting on a metal base with sled legs, very stable and visually light. Front structured by sliding drawers/shelves and a crafted belt, designed for use (writing, files, accessories). Details of metal strips contrasting with the wood, a seventies aesthetic signature, balancing luxury and functionality. A statement piece for an office, agency, or large living space, with a true architectural presence.

Their approach prioritises clean lines, work ergonomics, and meticulous craftsmanship, typical of executive furniture of the time.
